Answer:

x = 20 (degrees)

y = 70 (degrees)

Explanation:

The angle adjacent to the one labeled 40° is supplementary, so it would measure 140°. And the obtuse triangle is an isosceles, which means that x is half of 180° - 140°, so x = 1/2(40°) = 20°

To find y, subtract 90° and x from 180°

y = 180° - 90° - 20°

y = 70°
